Types of cookies
1. Functional cookies
Functional cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and make your browsing experience easier and more enjoyable. For example, these cookies allow you to save time by remembering login details, preserving the items in your shopping cart, or avoiding repeated cookie notifications.
2. Analytical cookies
Analytical cookies measure visitor behaviour and help us identify the best ways of optimizing our platform. We act on the data collected, allowing us to deliver a superior user experience that is tailored to viewers’ needs and interests.
3. Tracking cookies
Tracking cookies collect and analyze your surfing activity on our site, as well as third-party sites when embedded content is accessed from within our page. These tracking cookies allow the personalization of users’ experience and provide a more tailored approach for marketing campaigns or other promotional initiatives. The tracking cookies are not placed by us but another party, like YouTube and they are also called “third-part cookies”. To ensure utmost privacy, all videos requested from YouTube are set up using ‘Privacy mode’ configuration; meaning no information will be gathered until you view the video.

Some analytical cookies do not require explicit consent before placing them. The need to require permission depends on the settings. This website has been set up using the Dutch Data protection Authority’s manual. This manual recommends safe cookie settings which do not require explicit consent from you. As a result, these cookies load as soon as you visit the website.
Tracking cookies always require your consent before they can be placed. As a result, they load only after you have given permission.
